Is there anyway to make:
PRINT sm$("24/6")
into...
PRINT sm("24/6") [no $ sign]
DIM sm AS STRING fails because the name is already in use for the function.
The problem is that it could make QB64 like Freebasic -- might not allow sigils any longer anywhere, for the sake of defining:
FUNCTION sm(a as string) as string
instead of
FUNCTION sm$(a$)
If the QB64 programmers (or contributor!) are slick enough, could make an exception just for user's string functions, as was already done for a short time with one of the QB64-only functions for Internet.
